Upcycled Milk Carton Organizer for Kids' Shoes

Finally, a place for everything...

MATERIALS LIST:

• Clean and dry milk and/or juice cartons (64-ounce size)
• Sharp, sturdy scissors
• Clear packing tape
• Brown paper grocery sack
• Assorted colors of child-safe paint
• Assorted paint brushes
• Fresh leaves, optional

STEP 1: Trim juice and milk cartons and tape together.

STEP 2: Cut, fold, and tape a brown paper grocery sack over the cartons.

STEP 3: Spread newspaper underneath (and remove shoes) before starting to paint.

STEP 4: Paint with a brush.

Or paint with a leaf.

{This was the biggest leaf we could find in early spring.}

Or paint with a sponge brush (which my three-year-old liked best).

Have fun mixing paint colors together.

After paint is dry, place shoes in slots.  Secure dry paper with more tape if desired.
